A Study in Emerald“ is a short alternate-reality Sherlock Holmes story written by British author Neil Gaiman. It was first published in Shadows Over Baker Street, a collection of Sherlock Holmes short stories set against the backdrop of H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos.

 

Won the Hugo award, too. And caused my investiture into the Baker Street Irregulars. Here: it’s up for you to read at neilgaiman.com – http://www.neilgaiman.com/mediafiles/exclusive/shortstories/emerald.pdf
